758: The Passion of Sister Zhilin
When Li Donglai and the other two were lingering in the dark, it was just noon on the other end of the earth.
Chen Yanxi and Ke Zhengdong, the two starring actors who promoted the romance light comedy movie "The Years, The Girl We Chased Together" in Taiwan, were suddenly asked an unexpected question by reporters, "Do you know, "Those Years" were recommended to fans on Twitter by two major directors Li Donglai and Li Case. Will you be happy?"
They were confused at the time and didn't know the situation.
After finishing the promotional event and searching the Internet, I found that the tweet that recommended the movie on Li Donglai's Twitter has been "titled" by countless fans. It's really interesting. Li Donglai not only posted one on Twitter, but also posted one on Weibo. Because "Those Years" is also a hot film nowadays. In just a short while, tens of thousands of people reposted and commented, which were extremely popular.
Chen Yanxi shouted and danced excitedly, and quickly replied to her Weibo, "Oh my God, Li Donglai and director Li Censor recommended our movie, I'm so happy."
This typical fan behavior also made her fans happy to watch it, and Li Donglai's fans also felt good about her.
Ke Zhengdong is not much calmer than her and is also very excited. I won’t talk about the Li case. His status in Taiwan is unparalleled and the pride of the entire Chinese. Li Donglai is an idol among idols. Who among Chinese can be more popular than him?
Not to mention the story here, Li Donglai returned to the company the next day and immediately began to purchase the novel, film and television adaptation rights in 20th Century Fox. At the same time, he also stepped up contact with the original author of the work, Yang Martel, and invited him to participate in the script adaptation work.
20th Century Fox has been holding this novel for many years and has not been able to make a movie. This best-selling novel has long been regarded as a novel that is "unable to shoot". They have found many people, either unable to meet their requirements, or they just cherish their feathers and dare not take over. Now that the Phantom has found this novel, they are a little surprised, and emotionally, they are not willing to transfer it.
Because the copyright fee for adapting a work is not much compared to the film production cost and future box office value. Moreover, it is difficult to find a good script in Hollywood. Even if you cannot successfully film it now, it does not mean that it will not work in the future.
However, the whole Hollywood is a big business, and there is no saying that it is not a product, it just depends on whether you are willing to give up the price.
Li Donglai was decisive and personally found the person in charge of Fox's play to talk for a while. Perhaps someone saw through his inevitable attitude, and finally offered twice the price at that time, but he was killed as a sucker. He bought the film and television adaptation rights back.
Fortunately, it was only more than two million, so he didn't care about this little money.
The novelist Young Martel is a Canadian writer.
He was born in Salamanca, Spain, and his parents were Canadian. He lived in Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Canada when he was young. He visited Iran, Turkey and India after he became an adult, so he has rich customs and experiences in various countries around the world.
After graduating from the Department of Philosophy at Trent University in Petersburg, Canada, Jan Martel has worked in various strange industries, including tree planters, dishwashers, security guards, etc. He spent 13 months in India, visiting mosques, churches, temples and zoos. He spent two years reading religious scriptures and stories of outcasts.
It was this experience that led him to create the work "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi".
Hard work pays off, and this work also won him the Booker Prize and the Asian/Pacific American Literature Award in 2002.
He also complained that 20th Century Fox bought the copyright of his novel adaptation, but he was reluctant to make a movie. It has been ten years since then (the work was published in 2001), and someone came to him. He was a little surprised and was also very happy.
Moreover, Li Donglai is a rare double-produced best screenwriter in Hollywood. He is praised by the screenwriter union as the best group of people who can write scripts. He is very passionate about being able to cooperate with him.
When the Li case received a call from Li Donglai the next day, he learned that the novel adaptation rights had been bought and the novelist Yang Martel was also rushing to Los Angeles, and he was very happy.
He could see that Li Donglai attached great importance to this movie, and at the same time he was very confident about the cooperation between the two Chinese directors. He immediately agreed to set off for Los Angeles as soon as possible to meet him to plan the filming work. Li Donglai took the opportunity to invite his son to come with him, even if he was not an actor. There was still a lot of work to do in the crew.
As a father, the Li case can be considered and opposed to their actors for their sons. But which father doesn’t want his son’s future to be better? He can train and train in Li Donglai’s company, and it is better to work in the capitalist company in the past, so he did not refuse.
Li Han already has his own work and life circle and will not consider it for the time being. However, Li Chun was very happy and came to Los Angeles with his father with great enthusiasm.
This is also a story later. They are now interviewing the actors of "Bankward Girl".
Lin Zhilin got off the plane and didn't have to hurry to rest, so he rushed to the Phantom Company.
Now that Phantom is rich, the company's office location is naturally changed again and again. The bigger the change, the better the better. Finally, I bought a five-story office building in the Empire State Building near Hollywood Avenue in Los Angeles. It is used as a fixed office location for the company.
The huge logo of the Phantom Movie is also allowed to hang on the top of the Empire State Building to demonstrate identity.
The scenery here is beautiful, and you can even see the Hollywood Mountains when you open the window.
Whenever night falls, I feel like I'm entering another prosperous world. The company's employees like it very much because they no longer have to open the window to see the annoying sign around the world.
If it weren't for the high cost of building a building, Li Donglai would have really wanted to do that.
Lin Zhilin was called out from the crew of "101 Marriage Proposal". If the movie was not about to end, the director would not have let anyone go. "It's your movie, Li Donglai, you can't break up the front desk and make up the backend." Director Chen Zhengdao shouted, but looking at Lin Zhilin's eyes, it was obvious that Hollywood is more attractive... What can he do? He can only let someone go.
Lin Zhilin was put on makeup and appeared in front of the production team with Audrey Hepburn's look. Everyone was satisfied with her look and figure. Li Donglai smiled and said, "Zhilin, I've sent you the script. Just perform according to your favorite lines. I have to remind you first, pay attention to the difference between American dramas and domestic dramas. The important thing is life acting skills and life-oriented!" He emphasized twice in a row, hoping that Lin Zhilin had good acting skills in American dramas before.
Lin Zhilin nodded, and Li Donglai said, "Okay, let's start."
Lin Zhilin calmed down his thoughts, began to perform according to his own mind, and curled his lips like a spoof, and said, "Sister wearing a hat to block the cold, and the second guy with a hat to learn cool play... Do you think, with a sound of the penetrating cloud finger, I will serve thousands of troops, and ask me to say, with a sound of the penetrating cloud finger, I will be like a waterfall-the darkness is dry..."
“cut!”
Her previous appearance was very good, sexy and beautiful. The important thing is that she is indeed a model and has a good step. However, this opening made people frown slightly. Before others could react, Li Donglai took the lead and called to stop.
"Do it again, please note that you are playing a vulgar girl who loves vainness." Li Dong said.
Lin Zhilin was a little nervous this time, took a breath, pointed his finger at the ground, and smiled teasingly: "That stain is actually the essence of a man... The girl works very hard, and she works harder than Hawking wearing cuffs."
“cut!”
Li Donglai quickly stopped, "Do it again, there are many lines, we can take it slowly. You are a vulgar girl, it is normal to say swear words. If you can make the words dirty, you will succeed."
Whitney said dissatisfiedly: "Li, the lines I arranged are just complaining, not swearing."
Li Donglai smiled, "Don't be excited, I'll just train her again."
Whitney shrugged helplessly and signaled them to continue.
"...I can't bear to pay money and can't afford to get girls. How much tip is your freedom, and spitting in your food is mine."
"cut! The artistic conception of this line is casual, not an angry expression."
"I'm a bitch of all kinds, so many that I can't count them all... If you have broken amniotic fluid, can you still pee out the smurfs."
"cut!" Li Donglai stopped again, "This is a tone that should be sarcastic, continue with the next sentence."
He shouted cut over and over again, and even Michael and others felt that Li Donglai was deliberately making things difficult for him. At first, Lin Zhilin's accent made them slightly tilted, but it was not unacceptable. After listening for a long time, he felt that it was very distinctive. In the United States, it was necessary to have characteristics so that people could remember it more easily. But Li Donglai still regarded the glass as the rhythm of making movies and asked that they were too harsh. Lin Zhilin was already good enough.
Lin Zhilin took a deep breath. She felt very aggrieved. Are she going to fail when she came with joy? And Li Donglai was so disrespectful and shouted "cut" so quickly... But after waiting for "cut" for a long time, even she herself felt that she was very bad and useless. It seemed that this character had gone away from her.
“…try the next sentence.”
This sentence was again, Lin Zhilin took a deep breath, his mood was extremely depressed. If she failed this time, she would take the initiative to withdraw, so as not to make things difficult for Li Donglai. After making up this idea, she relaxed and looked very angry, and said sarcastically: "Did you see my new hairstyle? Regret! Did you see my cake shop? Regret! Do you see this turbulent wave? Think beautifully!"
She finished this sentence in a very quick tone, and then quickly turned around. I don’t know if it was because she was too immersed in the role or because Li Donglai frequently "cut" her, and her chest fluctuated rapidly.
But after waiting for a while, she didn't hear the "cut" sound that Li Donglai hated. She was very confused, "Are you too angry and didn't hear it?"
